The Best Essential Oil for Mosquito Bites…No More Danger!

Aromatherapy essential oil for mosquito bites soothe the itch, prevent swelling and also repel mosquitoes and other parasites with their strong aroma.

The mosquito has been called the world’s most dangerous creature as it is known for transmitting deadly and lethal diseases like malaria, dengue and yellow fever.

There are no known vaccines against these diseases, which makes it even more important for us to use reliable mosquito repellents. Conventional methods of repelling mosquitoes include the use of chemical insecticides and pesticide formulations. These products can be quite harmful to humans, especially to babies.

Essential oils for mosquito repellents provide a safe and holistic approach to deter these pests and help keep our families safe from these insects.

Symptoms of Mosquito Bites In Humans

Mosquitoes bite humans in order to get a blood meal which helps them complete their life cycle. Both male and female mosquitoes insert their sharp mouthparts called antennae into the skin in order to suck the blood.

At the same time, to prevent the blood from coagulating, they also inject special enzymes into the skin through their saliva. These enzymes cause an allergic reaction in some sensitive humans and to counter this allergy, the body produces a histamine compound which causes swelling, itchiness and redness of the skin.

Over time, mosquito bites can turn itchier and may develop into pus filled oozing blisters that are harder to treat. Such blisters may even require antibiotics or steroid treatment to heal.

Conventional Treatment for Treating Mosquito Bite Symptoms

Conventional treatment for mosquito bites includes the use of antibiotic or steroidal (corticosteroid) creams.

It is very important to discontinue use of steroid-based creams after 2 days because they can get absorbed into the skin causing all kinds of problems.

This is the main reason why I recommend natural essential oils for mosquito bites treatment.
